Sy Smith
Sy Smith has proven throughout her career that an R&B artist can be progressive while remaining firmly rooted in tradition. Foremost a singer with a vocal range spanning five octaves, Smith began an
unending succession of background gigs with Whitney Houston in the late '90s, and has since worked closely with Grammy-winning trumpeter Chris Botti and Grammy-nominated group the Foreign Exchange, among dozens of other artists. After a brief period signed to a major, Smith established an independent label of her own, an outlet for compositionally solid and sonically adventurous albums including The Syberspace Social (2005), Conflict (2008), Fast and Curious (2012), and the entirely
self-produced Sometimes a Rose Will Grow in Concrete (2018).
"She's consequently known for being a
leading force in post-millennial indie soul.” - Andy Kellman
Sy raises her own bar and then leaps over it with her latest offering “Until We Meet Again” - her critically-acclaimed album produced by Zo! & Tall Black Guy, executive produced by Phonte Coleman
and released on +FE Music in January 2024.
This mellifluously soulful LP is drawing comparisons to Minnie Riperton and Deniece Williams and is already being called “the album of the year” by a few
critics!
Please join us as The Kessler Theater welcomes Sy Smith to the stage in support of her latest release and what Albumism has described as "With the musical, vocal, lyrical, and emotional aptitude collected on Until We Meet Again, it makes for a robustly embodied experience. We are unlikely to meet its equal anytime soon."
